My good friend and writing buddy Sydne, the one who inspired me to try to do this Nanowrimo thing, told me the other day, that she had heard of an editor from a large publishing house who randomly stumbled across a writer's blog describing the novel she was writing and offered her a book contract! So here I go:
The working title is "The Other Side of the Fence." I hate it, so I know that will change when I'm done with the rough draft. It is a story about four college roommates at an Ivy League University who choose decidedly different career/life paths after they graduate. The novel examines the ramifications of the choices made by these post-feminist women, the careers they embark upon, the relationships with the men in their lives, their families, and how their lives play out as a result of the choices they made. The characters are our own archetypes, a little of them lives within each of us. Their lives are not complete until they come together later in life, and embark on a venture that integrates the various strengths, personalities, and experiences they each bring to the table.
So if you are a publisher and you are reading this and are looking for the next great American Novel, leave me a comment and I'll be in touch asap.

I wish I were a blog surfing agent, alas, it's just your other writing buddy. You must keep writing and perhaps consider attending the Aspen Summer Word conference in June so you can shop around your manuscript!
